What this SHL practice test includes

SHL's factsheet for the multiple-choice Verify G+ describes one test of up to 30 questions in 36 minutes: about 10 numerical, 10 deductive and 10 inductive, each with five answer options. This practice form follows that shape exactly, so your pacing on it transfers to the real thing: roughly 72 seconds per question.

Numerical items give you a table or a bar chart and ask for percentage changes, shares of a total, reverse percentages, currency conversions and growth projections. Deductive items give you a short set of facts and ask which statement must be true. Inductive items show five boxes that follow two or three rules, or a shape grid with a missing block, and ask what comes next.

Every question is original and was checked by solver: each answer is computed from the data on screen, and every wrong option fails at least one fact or rule. The explanation after each question shows the working, including the common slip each wrong option represents.

Three sample SHL-style questions with walkthroughs

One of each ability, in the same style as the practice test. Each real item has five options (A to E).

Sample 1: Numerical Reasoning
A table shows a product's 2024 price as $3,717, which is 18% higher than its 2023 price. What was the 2023 price, to the nearest dollar?
  • A.$3,048
  • B.$3,150
  • C.$3,406
  • D.$3,717
  • E.$4,386
Answer and walkthrough
B. The 2024 price is the 2023 price multiplied by 1.18, so the 2023 price is 3,717 / 1.18 = $3,150. Taking 18% off $3,717 gives $3,048, which is the classic reverse-percentage slip: the 18% was measured on the 2023 price, not the 2024 one.
Sample 2: Deductive Reasoning
The following are true. If the budget is approved, the team hires a new analyst. If the team hires a new analyst, the launch is delayed. The launch is not delayed. Which of the following must be true?
  • A.The budget is approved
  • B.The budget is not approved
  • C.The team hires a new analyst
  • D.The client is informed
  • E.The client is not informed
Answer and walkthrough
B. Work backwards. The launch is not delayed, so the team cannot have hired a new analyst (that would have delayed it). Without the hire, the budget cannot have been approved (approval forces the hire). So the budget is not approved. Nothing in the facts mentions the client, so neither client option is forced.
Sample 3: Inductive Reasoning
Five boxes each contain an arrow and a dot. The arrow turns 90 degrees clockwise each step (up, right, down, left, up). The dot moves one corner anticlockwise each step. In box 5 the dot is in the bottom-right corner. Which describes box 6?
  • A.Arrow up, dot bottom-right
  • B.Arrow right, dot top-right
  • C.Arrow right, dot bottom-left
  • D.Arrow down, dot top-right
  • E.Arrow left, dot top-left
Answer and walkthrough
B. Split the box into its separate rules. The arrow after "up" turns 90 degrees clockwise to point right, which rules out A, D and E. The dot moves anticlockwise from bottom-right to top-right, which rules out C. Only B satisfies both rules. Real SHL inductive items are pictures, and the same split-the-rules method works on them.

What the real SHL Verify G+ is like

The real test is adaptive: the questions you see depend on how you answered earlier ones, and your result is a percentile against a comparison group chosen by the employer, with an overall general ability score plus separate numerical, deductive and inductive scores. There is no fixed pass mark. Each employer sets its own.

SHL runs two versions. The multiple-choice Verify G+ (up to 30 questions, five options each) is what this practice test mirrors. Verify Interactive G+ (up to 24 questions) uses drag-and-drop answers, such as adjusting a chart or filling a grid, and is built for phones. Both allow 36 minutes. Check your invitation to see which one you are taking. The reasoning is the same, only the way you answer changes.

Our forms are fixed rather than adaptive, so everyone who takes a form sees the same 30 questions. That makes your score comparable between attempts. On the real test you cannot go back to a question once answered, and neither can you here.
